You remind me that I have some brass bells I once-upon-a-time was going to create some ornaments with. Mine aren't nearly so interesting as yours, but still... they are waiting for a purpose. I am inspired again. :)Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-34725435055332437992018-01-07T15:28:59.819-06:002018-01-07T15:28:59.819-06:00I made up the pattern myself:)I made up the pattern myself:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-5035932821045822892018-01-07T13:35:34.812-06:002018-01-07T13:35:34.812-06:00Praise God for your great idea on the scarf! Our ...Praise God for your great idea on the scarf! Our temps were in the teens for a few days this week. I had to get out in it some days and found that air that cold really hurts the bronchial passageways. I, too, used a scarf and it helped a lot. I think mine was a wool blend. It worked better than one I used today that was made of man-made materials. My guess is the crocheted pattern would help keep a person's glasses from fogging up as opposed to the traditional fabrics.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-46149589627453528042018-01-07T13:18:41.231-06:002018-01-07T13:18:41.231-06:00That is a great idea and I imagine it was quite a ...That is a great idea and I imagine it was quite a quick project?

Glad you were able to come up with such a creative solution :-) I have take a piece of polar fleece fabric, a foot or more wide, and however long it needs to be, and made a tube that serves as a neck warmer, face mask or you can pull it up the back to cover your head as well. I like the sleigh bells!<br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-85403340525059561382018-01-07T11:03:01.770-06:002018-01-07T11:03:01.770-06:00EXCELLENT!!!

This idea looks like a winner for those in really cold places. Here in Kansas the cats' water wasn't frozen this morning for the first time in weeks. Is is cloudy and so dark I could go back to sleep. TWC says 90% chance of rain but at 43 it won't be ice.

We're still sliding around on the ice down here. No sand, no salt, wait for it to melt. Relief is in sight, though. 70 degrees for a couple days next week. That should do it. Thank goodness!
